The goal is to have an information how binary for multivariant package
was built, that is, given a binary ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3.tbz I'd like to
know this binary was built with apache2 and python23.  This is necessary
to make possible comparison binary repository vs. source tree and to run
bulk builds for multivariant packages based on results of such
comparison.

Neither -X nor -B provide this information.

 0 0 ~>pkg_info -B /srv/pkgsrc_bin/Debian/All/ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3.tbz | grep 23
Information for /srv/pkgsrc_bin/Debian/All/ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3.tbz:

 0 0 ~>pkg_info -X /srv/pkgsrc_bin/Debian/All/ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3.tbz | grep 23
PKGNAME=ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3
DEPENDS=python23>=2.3.5nb6
FILE_NAME=ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3.tbz

It is currently unclear what variable(s) I should set to what
value(s) in order to build www/ap2-wsgi(ap2-py23-wsgi-1.3)
